I've updated my profile ......

Willingham itself doesnt figure in the IGI, altho the IGI does have Suffolk Bishops Transcripts - and there are a couple of candidates there...
One looks worth following up - Father Henry, mother Eliza, and mentions a place called Shadingfield, which is in the Wangford Regn District ..... ?
Turns out to be right next to Willingham - and seems to have the nearest Church ....
Added (if the site stays up long enough):-
Looks good - Tuthill was the name of Wm's grandfolks...
ELIZA TUTHILL
Marriage:
Spouse: HENRY CLARK
Marriage: 13 JAN 1833 North Cove Cum Willingham, Suffolk
Extracted marriage record - so from an original register.

Hi Jason
Most of the facts shown appear to be correct. My Wife's grandfather was the Henry Clark born in Beccles in 1868. His father was William Henry Clarke, and it looks like he was the brother of William who went to India. I was not aware of this.
As you know William H Clarke's father, and I now add the e at the end of the name, was Henry, who was born in Uggeshall Suffolk in 1810. If you go onto Google and put in The descendants of William Clarke and Martha Newby, you will find some interesting information regarding the family, as they went to the Prince Edward Island in Canada, except Henry, whom you are aware of, who is my wife's Great Great Grandfather.

Welcome to Rootschat Raimondo
Do remember that we find various spellings of our ancestral names and we should never rule out alternatives. Most of the written information we have is taken down by clerks who record exactly what they hear (and they may not have been familiar with the Suffolk accent).

Hi Pat and Hello Ramondo, welcome to RootsChat,
Thanks for this. As your Wife's Grandfather Henry Clark was born Beccles 1868 and was the son of W.H. Clark"e" and Maria. I think its a very strong chance that he is the brother of my Great Grandfather William Clark born Beccles 1860 (and joined the army in 1884).  I can tell you more about my side of the Clark"e" family if you wish, including more about William and the Army?
With the information Ive been given on Rootschat.... I think this link you have suggested to the Clarke's on Prince Edward Island is definately worth me sending them an email to see if they have more information. As you most probably know that area of The New world(Canada today) was originally populated by the French before the British took over and forced the French to go to Louisiana or Quebec. I'm wondering if this could be where the family legend/link to the Pyrenees comes in.... This is very exciting 
Finally Ramondo, a quick question, do you have any copies of the paperwork from your search that you could kindly share? as this would be brilliant to show my elderly aunts...
Kindest Regards Jason
